Sushi rice is also called "Shari" Sushi rice is
a special preparation of rice flavored with rice vinegar, sugar, and
salt. The sushi chef will explain how to shape the rice. Please
pay attention to his practiced hand.

4. Experience making nigiri (hand-pressed) sushi

Let's make
nigishi sushi! The proper amount of rice is
about the size of a ping-pong ball. It may be difficult at first but
try to shape the rice being not too hard but not too soft. Place your
favorite "neta" (topping) on the shari.

5. Experience making temaki (hand roll) sushi

Temaki
sushi is a new type of sushi spread in the past 20 to 30
years. Place rice and fillings (raw fish, cucumber, and daikon radish
sprouts, etc.) on nori (a little larger than an adult's palm) and fold
it into corn shape. The tips are to keep the amout of rice and neta
small.

6. Make your original sushi

Using the
technique you just learned, make your original sushi.
Choose your favorite neta and shape the sushi as you like.

7. Enjoy sushi with miso soup

Taste your
sushi with our vaunted miso soup. At sushi
restaurants, soup stock is taken from the bony parts of fish and shrimp
shell. So it tastes especially great with sushi.
